Transaction Monitoring

Questions worth exploring

Start with the activity. Then define the response.

A transaction-monitoring evaluation needs more than a list of desired notifications. Consider the activity you want to review, the reason a reviewer would take notice, and the action that should follow. FinTrace Core monitors activity in real time against configurable risk thresholds, with FinTrace Radar adding signals for emerging threats and sanctions-related patterns.

1

Response management

Clear responsibility from alert to audit record.

Decide what is in scope, what deserves attention and who owns each response before you switch anything on.

01
Activity in scope
Outline the transactions, addresses, and business processes you would like to discuss. Identify the networks and time periods relevant to the evaluation.
02
Review priorities
Describe the situations that should receive attention and the context a reviewer would need. Discuss how your team would distinguish a useful notification from an unresolved question.
03
Response ownership
Identify who would receive an item for review, who could make a decision, and what information should accompany a handover.

How an alert moves between ownersEvery hand-over names a person or a system of record.

What needs confirmation

Transaction Monitoring runs configurable risk thresholds against real-time and historical activity, with rule-based alerting delivered through your existing case-management or notification channels. Use these questions to confirm the details that matter for your deployment.

Ask · 01
Real-time versus scheduled monitoring
Which activity is monitored in real time, and what update cadence applies to your deployment?
Ask · 02
Supported networks and assets
Which networks and assets can be monitored for your use case?
Ask · 03
Historical data availability
How far back can historical activity be reviewed against your rules?
Ask · 04
Rule configuration
Which conditions can your team configure, and who can change them?
Ask · 05
Alert delivery channels
How are alerts delivered: case management, email or other notification channels?
Ask · 06
User roles and permissions
How are analysts, senior reviewers and administrators separated?
Ask · 07
Case-management integration
How do alerts hand over to your existing case-management process?
Ask · 08
Evidence retention
What evidence is kept with each alert, and for how long?
Ask · 09
API and webhook availability
Which API endpoints or webhooks are available for alerts?

These are evaluation questions, not confirmed claims. Answers depend on your deployment and are agreed with the team during your evaluation.

Before your demo

Transaction Monitoring: questions and answers

Is real-time monitoring confirmed?

Yes. FinTrace Core monitors activity in real time against configurable risk thresholds. Ask for the current update cadence for your deployment.

Can my team configure rules and alerts?

Yes. Risk thresholds and alert delivery channels are configurable per team. Describe the conditions and delivery channels you need in a demo request.

How does this relate to wallet screening?

Wallet Screening evaluates a single address on demand; Transaction Monitoring watches ongoing activity and raises signals automatically. The two work together in a typical workflow.
